    Ironing Board Cover Sewing Tutorial

    Happy New Year friends!  I’ve made it a goal for this year to do some freshening up around my house and there is one thing that has been driving me absolutely crazy.    I’m wondering how many of you are like me… your ironing board cover is gross and so you go looking for just the right cute new cover to buy?  And there is nothing there that is even remotely appealing?   I decided it was time to make a new one and write a tutorial for all of…

    Boho Bedroom Redo

    Hello friends!  I’m so excited to share a project with you today that my 13 year old grand-daughter, Jillian, and I have been working on for the last few months!  In the summer she told me that her parents had given her permission to re-do her bedroom into a Boho themed room and she was so excited.  As she began to tell me what her vision was for her bedroom I got really excited for her and thought maybe I could help her out a bit by sewing some pillows,…

    Easy Fall Quilting! Mug Rug Coaster Pattern

    Hello Friends!  Happy first day of fall!!!  Until the weather gets cold here in Tennessee (halloween time usually!) I have a really hard time thinking about beautiful colored leaves and pumpkins.  But this year I worked really hard to do some fall sewing in September! My plan was to make a full size quilt… but lets be honest here.  Making a full size quilt is super time consuming and September means I’m wrapping up a busy summer in my flower farm so I knew I needed a project that was…

    Late Summer Swim and Spa Robes

    I have such a fun sewing project to share with you today!   When I was contacted by Shannon Fabrics about another collaboration with Clover, I jumped on their beautiful Turkish Terry Waffle White Fabric.  When the fabric arrived it was as special as I knew it would be.    From the beginning I knew I wanted to make Swim (or Spa) Robes with the fabric but what really excited me was I asked for enough fabric to make five of them!   Our family goes on a yearly beach vacation…

    Summer Garment Sewing!

    Hello friends!  I’m excited to be here today!  I took a little sewing and blogging break as my son got married on our farm here in Tennessee and my husband and I spent 6 weeks doing all sorts of wedding prep things on our farm!   For a month I literally didn’t sit down in my sewing studio… I think that has to be the longest stretch I’ve ever gone without sewing! When I made the double gauze quilt and blogged about it here, I kept thinking that I sure…
